It's good to know that climbx gear is now excepting orders for their breaking device. Do they have other types of breaking devices, like dimpled aliens or link cams? What would be the best breaking device for raping a single rope?

so getting past teh misspellings ... is that just a straight rip off of a grigri, or is their more to it?

I think it's jsut a stright rip off.

Madrock was bad enough, but ClimbX seems to have taken it to a whole new level.

I'm going to straight rip off this PTFTW.

surprised there are no patent issues ... though maybe a grigri has been out for 20 years now?

I've had a gri gri for more than 20 years... and yea it's a strate up rip off. Still I think petzl fuked up by discontinuing teh gri gri 1. While it's tru teh gri gri 2 is really nice on teh skinny ropes, 9.4 and under... If yore climbing on a 9.8 or larger werk rope teh gri gri 1 is teh go to device.

Here's a little story ewe might find interesting.

The strange etymology of the Gri Gri name actually shocks and embarrasses us in the discrete western world as it originates from the Penis Gourds of the West Papua Indonesia and New Guinea natives and the masturbatory practices thereoff.

The male natives of the SE Asian tribal species wear penis gourds both to protect and warm the Penis and to denote social status. The longer the gourd, the higher the social status of the individual. The highest status attained comes with the translated term westerners loosely call "The Big Dick". That is the teminology applied to the chief or leader, who is seen wearing the longest, and thickest penis gourd.

The term for rubbing the Gourds is called "ghrei" which interestingly is the original root from which "Christ" is derived, which is *ghrei- or "to rub." (Contracted to *ghri-). When rubbing to pleasurable finish and completion, the islanders would call that "ghri-ghri". They had learned this word "Ghrei" from the early missionaries when the Missionaries would try and teach the islanders to restrict their frequent embarrassingly public and messy sexual urges. The Islanders mistook the intent of the wording and made it their own: applying it to the frequent rubbing of the gourd when one was without woman but thinking one should be with one. http://www.yourdictionary.com/...d.pl?date=2003-12-25

A young french explorer who was also a climber had wandered through this area of Penis gourd rubbing natives, and seeing the islanders conduct the motion which they called "GhriGhri", thought it was eerily similar the the motion any western climbing young man would make while feeding rope through the belay camming device while toproping a parner who was climbing fast: which he had recently invented. It was, without question, the very same motion as performing the rubbing of the gourd. Thus was born the name "GriGri".

So the next time you pull or yank that thin cord through the GriGri, thank the Penis Gourd wearing islanders and their missionary style rubbing and count your lucky toproping gym-climbing stars your dick is swaddled in cotton and not a Gourd and you have a mechanical device to hold the rope.

Sweet. a new excuse for chronic masturbation. "Just... ah... using my GriGri..."

Well shitz.... I kneed teh excuse fer chronic masterbation?

Luckly fer me my sweet russian girl friends, dun't carez why I masterbate so much... just as long as they get teh chance to penetrate my shoo gooed condom and try to steal my banking info.

Russian mafia PMed. All this time they have been looking for your banking info WHERE? No way are they that incompetent. They just wanted you to be distracted.

It's tru.... I'm easily distracted.

Still, try to pay attention? Last year my firewall[s/] condom wus repeatedly penetrated after visiting my young sexy girlfriends on there russian pron sites.

Hey, did you guys look at the sponsored athletes page for climbx? Includes luminaries like Sierra "I'm cute like Sasha but don't climb hard" Blare-Coyle, and Dave "world's most famous belayer" Yerian! Luminaries!

Why ewe has to hate on Dave? Why?

He belayed me fer an entire week once... a long tyme ago, while I wus trying to free teh nose. Haven't seen him in a long tyme.

Nice guy... though like most ov us washed up old schoolers, that have wasted most ov our lives hiding owt from teh world, he can be set in his ways.

At teh tyme I thought teh thing wus way to gay fer me. Hell, teh fuking thing wus smaller than sum ov teh thongs I wear. Way to shinny and colorful fer a grumpy old man. I thought that I wood never wear teh fuking thing.

When it can tyme to gets a gnu harness, instead ov trying owt teh fancy won, I got another won ov those burnt orange wons... mostly cuz, that's whut I had been using. And it seemed to werk OK. Yea, I noes... stuck it teh past.

Course, a month ago, I kneaded another gnu harness. It wus won ov those last minute decisions on a friday afternoon. Know tyme to gets teh free won shipped. I wus even willing to pay fer won, but couldn't find won in my size localy.

Reluckitly, I pulled owt teh fancy won.

I still thought teh thing wus way to gay fer me, but really had know choise. Wear teh shiney thong and be poynted and laughted at by my friends or wear teh death trap, that I fingered wood break next tyme I fell in it.

Nau, I'm knot sure ifs I wood wear it ifs I wus gunna be hanging fer a long tyme at a belay or ifs I had to have a bunch ov those wigets and whatknot hanging oft teh loops, but fer sport wanking... It's pretty damn gud. Might knot fit as well fer sum ov ewe fat gays but ifs ewe are kinda shinny, ewe might wunt to give it a try. I'm pretty much sold on it and wood never go back to teh won I used to wear.

That is awl.

I've always preferred the non adjustable leg loops if they fit. It's been tough to find lately though because petzl changed their sizing and M won't fit my giant thighs.

I have to say I'm against just two gear loops.

What is the belay loop? Is it honest to god 9/16" nylon or is it the stupid thin lightweight dental floss?

Well, good for you for finding a harness you like. I have two that are really marginal, I just keep switching between the two. I tried on every harness in REI in the spring and hated them all. I'm going to try to hold out for the new Pretzels to see if they got better.

well the patent expired. Nothing shady about it, but I don't think I'd buy a knock off from ClimbX. I do kind of wish grigri1s were still available but I suppose I'll adapt when mine wears out or gets lost.

It's all joe garland. He was part of Madrock and now he basically is ClimbX. It's a lot easier to make knockoffs than it is to actually produce something new.

So I kinda wanted to see Cloud Atlas, looking through the local theater listings I realized that this was the last night it was going to show that movie (looks like the latest Twilight movie is going to take over).

Guess I'm going to the movies tonight!

I've been meaning to read it before I watch it. I checked it out from the library 2x this year but never got around to it.

I did see SKyfall (new bond movie) while I was at the Gunks. It was fun, but probably my least favorite of the daniel craig bonds by a good margin.

Finished up at the gunks and made the plane at JFK. We were able to sneak in CCK, Arrow and Limelight before we had to boot it on out of there.

i have to say though, I was pretty impressed with that 3rd pitch of High E. Maybe it's overhyped sure, but that pitch is absolutely beautiful and just all time fun. They did that in the 40s? rad.

I still wouldn't wait in line to climb it though. I don't know if it was just way past the season or people were still dealing with Sandy cleanup, but there was never more than 4 cars in the lot the whole time we were there. Great times at the gunks.

I was thinking about the grades too. They all seemed pretty fair to me, no major snadbags. The thing is though, the easy routes are steep and have roofs. They are also covered in big jugs. I could see how it would be hard or intimidating if you were new, but every time I groped up there I found a massive jug. Those easy routes really were wonderful. The whole ego thing 'well our routes are so hard for the grade' is like arguing that your penish may only be 3" long, but damned if it isn't the hardest, stiffest 3 incher around while you puff out your chest and do the ghri grhi.

At teh tyme I thought teh thing wus way to gay fer me. Hell, teh fuking thing wus smaller than sum ov teh thongs I wear. Way to shinny and colorful fer a grumpy old man. I thought that I wood never wear teh fuking thing.

Heh....

This past sunday, won ov teh gays at teh crag had won ov those rip oft gri gris. Said he got it from a rep fer free. I asked to see it and after checking it owt, I mentioned that I didn't dig teh hole rip oft thing and tossed it in teh pond.

He got a little pissy but knot to bad and ended up laughing it oft... and then a little while later, when teh sun came around, he went fer a swim and retrived it.

At teh tyme I thought teh thing wus way to gay fer me. Hell, teh fuking thing wus smaller than sum ov teh thongs I wear. Way to shinny and colorful fer a grumpy old man. I thought that I wood never wear teh fuking thing.

When it can tyme to gets a gnu harness, instead ov trying owt teh fancy won, I got another won ov those burnt orange wons... mostly cuz, that's whut I had been using. And it seemed to werk OK. Yea, I noes... stuck it teh past.

Course, a month ago, I kneaded another gnu harness. It wus won ov those last minute decisions on a friday afternoon. Know tyme to gets teh free won shipped. I wus even willing to pay fer won, but couldn't find won in my size localy.

Reluckitly, I pulled owt teh fancy won.

I still thought teh thing wus way to gay fer me, but really had know choise. Wear teh shiney thong and be poynted and laughted at by my friends or wear teh death trap, that I fingered wood break next tyme I fell in it.

Nau, I'm knot sure ifs I wood wear it ifs I wus gunna be hanging fer a long tyme at a belay or ifs I had to have a bunch ov those wigets and whatknot hanging oft teh loops, but fer sport wanking... It's pretty damn gud. Might knot fit as well fer sum ov ewe fat gays but ifs ewe are kinda shinny, ewe might wunt to give it a try. I'm pretty much sold on it and wood never go back to teh won I used to wear.

That is awl.

I've always preferred the non adjustable leg loops if they fit. It's been tough to find lately though because petzl changed their sizing and M won't fit my giant thighs.

I have to say I'm against just two gear loops.

What is the belay loop? Is it honest to god 9/16" nylon or is it the stupid thin lightweight dental floss?

Well, good for you for finding a harness you like. I have two that are really marginal, I just keep switching between the two. I tried on every harness in REI in the spring and hated them all. I'm going to try to hold out for the new Pretzels to see if they got better.

Course, I'm knot sure how long it will last but at this poynt, I dun't carez. When this won weres owt, I'm getting another won.

Might be worth checking owt... I'm just saying.

Whoo! Jack nekkid!

While I'm flattered and awl.... Please put it back in yore pants young lady. Cuz, I've awlways had a big crush on ewe and I'm afraid teh dog might hurt his fist while punching my fase in, ifs he ever found owt about us.

It's good to know that climbx gear is now excepting orders for their breaking device. Do they have other types of breaking devices, like dimpled aliens or link cams? What would be the best breaking device for raping a single rope?

so getting past teh misspellings ... is that just a straight rip off of a grigri, or is their more to it?

I think it's jsut a stright rip off.

Madrock was bad enough, but ClimbX seems to have taken it to a whole new level.

I'm going to straight rip off this PTFTW.

surprised there are no patent issues ... though maybe a grigri has been out for 20 years now?

I've had a gri gri for more than 20 years... and yea it's a strate up rip off. Still I think petzl fuked up by discontinuing teh gri gri 1. While it's tru teh gri gri 2 is really nice on teh skinny ropes, 9.4 and under... If yore climbing on a 9.8 or larger werk rope teh gri gri 1 is teh go to device.

Here's a little story ewe might find interesting.

The strange etymology of the Gri Gri name actually shocks and embarrasses us in the discrete western world as it originates from the Penis Gourds of the West Papua Indonesia and New Guinea natives and the masturbatory practices thereoff.

Please do not be offended dear reader, and follow along with a scientific frame of mind, for these stories are meant to inform and teach, and not titulate. So stop your snickering right now please.

The male natives of the SE Asian tribal species wear penis gourds both to protect and warm the Penis and to denote social status. The longer the gourd, the higher the social status of the individual. The highest status attained comes with the translated term westerners loosely call "The Big Dick". That is the teminology applied to the chief or leader, who is seen wearing the longest, and thickest penis gourd.

The term for rubbing the Gourds is called "ghrei" which interestingly is the original root from which "Christ" is derived, which is *ghrei- or "to rub." (Contracted to *ghri-). When rubbing to pleasurable finish and completion, the islanders would call that "ghri-ghri". They had learned this word "Ghrei" from the early missionaries when the Missionaries would try and teach the islanders to restrict their frequent embarrassingly public and messy sexual urges. The Islanders mistook the intent of the wording and made it their own: applying it to the frequent rubbing of the gourd when one was without woman but thinking one should be with one. http://www.yourdictionary.com/...d.pl?date=2003-12-25

A young french explorer who was also a climber had wandered through this area of Penis gourd rubbing natives, and seeing the islanders conduct the motion which they called "GhriGhri", thought it was eerily similar the the motion any western climbing young man would make while feeding rope through the belay camming device while toproping a parner who was climbing fast: which he had recently invented. It was, without question, the very same motion as performing the rubbing of the gourd. Thus was born the name "GriGri".

So the next time you pull or yank that thin cord through the GriGri, thank the Penis Gourd wearing islanders and their missionary style rubbing and count your lucky toproping gym-climbing stars your dick is swaddled in cotton and not a Gourd and you have a mechanical device to hold the rope.

also, while the grigri 1 may be for masturbation, teh grigri 2 is well known to give blow jorbs. who's going to buy the first gen when you factor that in?

Sweet. a new excuse for chronic masturbation. "Just... ah... using my GriGri..."

Well shitz.... I kneed teh excuse fer chronic masterbation?

Luckly fer me my sweet russian girl friends, dun't carez why I masterbate so much... just as long as they get teh chance to penetrate my shoo gooed condom and try to steal my banking info.

So I kinda wanted to see Cloud Atlas, looking through the local theater listings I realized that this was the last night it was going to show that movie (looks like the latest Twilight movie is going to take over).

Guess I'm going to the movies tonight!

I'm so psyched on movies this fall. Saw Cloud Atlas last week, it was awesome. Going to go check out the Man with the Iron Fists tonight, which looks like cheesy fun. Then the Hobbit, then the gnu Bond flick, then Lincoln... woo!

we're going to see teh cloud atlas tonight, does that make me a racist?

Speaking of racist, we're discussing Uncle Tom's Cabin in one of my classes today. Strongly considering showing them this, to illustrate the "Magic Negro" trope in literature and movies.

At teh tyme I thought teh thing wus way to gay fer me. Hell, teh fuking thing wus smaller than sum ov teh thongs I wear. Way to shinny and colorful fer a grumpy old man. I thought that I wood never wear teh fuking thing.

It's pretty damn gud. Might knot fit as well fer sum ov ewe fat gays but ifs ewe are kinda shinny, ewe might wunt to give it a try.

I've always preferred the non adjustable leg loops if they fit. It's been tough to find lately though because petzl changed their sizing and M won't fit my giant thighs.

yeah, even for teh spurts climbings I like to have at least a 3rd loop ... which is what my spurts harness right now has, since the back right loop fell off out in eldo a while back.

It's good to know that climbx gear is now excepting orders for their breaking device. Do they have other types of breaking devices, like dimpled aliens or link cams? What would be the best breaking device for raping a single rope?

Madrock was bad enough, but ClimbX seems to have taken it to a whole new level.

well the patent expired. Nothing shady about it, but I don't think I'd buy a knock off from ClimbX. I do kind of wish grigri1s were still available but I suppose I'll adapt when mine wears out or gets lost.

It's all joe garland. He was part of Madrock and now he basically is ClimbX. It's a lot easier to make knockoffs than it is to actually produce something new.

was he that doucher that kept making an ass owt of himself on here a few yearz back?

Got the jorb, and they're paying me more than advertised! I have the next two weeks off, then I start work which has a great 4 days on three days off schedule. Good for the climbzering and the skiizering.

Gniess. Workin for the man has its benefits. Is it 4 ten hour days, or something else?
